The coconut tree:

The original home of the coconut tree is the area of the Malay archipelago, where their culture can look back on a past of 3000 to 4000 years. Today, it is spread and cultivated in all tropical areas. It is particularly frequently found on coasts, since the palm tree prefers salty sea air. Under normal circumstances, the coconut trees reaches a height of 30-35 m and develops a slender, columnar, unbranched trunk, which usually grows a little curved from the ground. On a full-bearing palm tree, 60 to 160 nuts can ripen.

How organic coconut oil is produced:

Organic coconut oil is also referred to as organic coconut fat since it is solid at room temperature. The reason for this is the high content of saturated fatty acids. However, it is rapidly liquid because of its low melting point of 23 °C. It is obtained by pressing the crushed and dried nutrient tissue of the coconut, the copra. The fresh copra is dried and pressed. Our organic coconut oil is cold-pressed and then filtered.
